Another Bathroom with almost No Grout

via
The only grout here is around the floor tiles. I like it except I wouldn't enjoy those bare light bulbs shining in my eyes. I have decided that my own bathroom is pretty much devoted to tub baths now and that is working out quite well. My hair likes this system too. When I shower I never wear a shower cap and my head always gets soaked even if I'm not washing my hair. With a tub bath, my hair just gets the humidity and my little bit of natural wave and slight curl is responding quite nicely. When I shampoo, I go downstairs and use the stall shower. My bathroom is looking neater too so it's a win/win. I decided to let the new grout cure as long as possible before it gets wet. Three hours until Downton Abbey and four hours until Grantchester on PBS. Can't wait. Enjoy your evening too. xo

Microwave Peanut Brittle

I love peanut brittle.
I honestly wish I hadn't seen this. It looks so delicious and so easy. I would make some but I don't have any peanuts or corn syrup. It's probably better than anything you can buy. Picture tutorial and recipe here. You're welcome. xo

DIY Kitchen Remodel Costing < $3,000.

Bravo. It's wonderful!



Before photo. I wish I could see more in the after photos to see where they put the refrigerator, wall oven and microwave. By reading the article, I learned they kept the tile floor but covered it with rag rugs. I adore the new kitchen sink! The entire project took 6 days and cost less than $3,000. Read the story and see more photos here.
